I need a lighter and maybe convert the whole systems to a 2.5in tubing.

Unless you have a turbo, a 2.5in exhaust is really big for that engine. My 4.7L only uses a 3inch single. As I stated earlier, Techtonics has a 2inch, and I think Leistritz has (or at least had) a 1 7/8inch.

Had not heard of that. Very interesting idea.
The car is light enough you may be okay without the vacuum power brakes. I wouldn't see it weighing that much. You might try it first with just the vacuum line pulled to see if you are willing to drive full time like that...
[edit] Thanks Aerohead, I didn't know a diesel Rabbit would even go 80mph!
